The SwiSCI survey is the largest population based study for people with spinal cord injury (SCI) in Switzerland. Within the next 6 - 8 months we are hoping to obtain information from approximately 3000 people with SCI who are living in Switzerland. It is our goal to better understand what your needs are and to what extent these needs are met by the Swiss social security system.

Your information will contribute to improve the health care and social system in order to increase your quality of life. Only you know exactly what the most urgent problems are and which specific needs you have with respect to SCI. This is the reason why it is so very important that you participate.

You have received the first questionnaire with your SwiSCI ID and your password by mail.
